I . Teachers Licenses

_ The Hon. Keir Clark, Minister of Education, has hinted that a still higher class of teaching license may be under consideration by the De- . partment. At pnesent the Superior First Class License, introduced about a year ago, conveys top pro.

' fessionel standing. ’ This is a very good idea. Any-

status of teachers is to be com- mended. Incidentally, we‘, are-of the opinion that, in general, Island teachershave qualifications equal to those in any other part of Canada. Teachers’ salaries, however, al- though they have been improved greatly in recent years—a develop- ment for which the Hon. Mr. Clark can‘ take much credit—are still lower, on the average, than those in the other Provincos. This is a. failing which must be correlated, if ' we are to persuade our better tea' chers to remain in'the Province. ' There remains, we think, still an-

1'_ other need in the matter of teachers' qualifications which requires atten-

nition of experience. It may be that a Superior First Class teacher with little experience is a better teacher than an experienced one with lower

a question which could be argued at length. One thing is certain: All other considerations being equal, a teacher with 5 or 10 years’ experi- ence is‘better qualified than one who is just starting out, for teaching in: volves ’many things besides technical “know-how”. ' ‘

Would, it not be possible'to rc- = serve the highest professional I ‘ license, by whatever name it might

their work has, on the whole, been satisfactory to supervisory officials? This would not only be an incentiVe to teachers to in the profes- sion; for, of course, the conferring of the highest license would be accom- panied by a worthwhile increase in stipend; it would also recognize the value of experience per so. [We “do not think at the present time it is given the consideration it deserves.

* Merchant Seamen

l A suggestion that merchant sea- men be put on an equal footing with 'war veterans in the matter of ; Government pensions and allow- ‘ ances has come under some criticism i in the Commons. Several members, E3 including Mr. John A. Macdonald ' of King’s, expressedlthe View that x ‘ merchant seamen are not “veterans” and should not be treated such,

type of service”. _ , Surely there are other factors involved in this case. No Canadian should need to be told of the splen- did, heroic service rendered by the - men of the merchant fleets iii the last war. If theirs was a different type of service, it was nevertheless a necessary service. Certainly,-the war could not have been won with- out them. In many instances it was a more hazardous service than that of men who were in the army but who, through no fault of their own, saw no fighting.

Imported Cars Opposition spokesmen in, Parlia- ment have criticized the Govern‘ ment for allowing the Defence Pro-

the rule were followed, all Govern- ment orders would be placed in Europe, for there is no question of the ability of European manufac- turers, especially West German manufacturers, to sell automobiles at lower prices than the Canadian pro- duct. This is mainly because labour is much less costly in Europe than it is in Canada.

Still, unemployment in Windsor and Oshawa is Something the Government must Consider..- It does not seem quite right that Canadians, perhaps only a few, should be out of- work because the Government prefers to save money by buying in a cheaper market. On the other

I hand, of course, economy is just as

important in Government depart- ments as anyvVhere else—though we are afraid that this is often over- It can be seen, therefore, that the problem is not a particular- ly/ easy one to handle.

A Word For “Predators”

Those who believe that so-called “predators” have no right to live and

[should be’ shot on sight might be in-

tol'ested in certain information re cently published by the National Geo- graphic Society. The information con- cerns the science of ecology, the study of the relations between living or- ganisms and their environment and the delicate balance bywhich nature keeps itsaffairs in order.

Since otters kill fish, fishermen in a certain area trapped the otters in the hope of increasing .the fish supply. Instead, the fish disappeared. The otters had been catching diseas-

fish that could not travel fast.

Without the otters, the sick fish in- fected and killed the others.

About 4000 deer lived in Ari- zona’s Kaibab Forest in 1906. .To in- crease the herds, hunters‘killed th’e coyotes, wolves and mountain lions. In the absence of their natural en-

They were more numerous that the

range could support. In two winters 60,000 starved to death. The forest-

land was seriously damaged, and the. number of deer declined until it was well below the original capacity of the range. ' « ,

ls Chino Calling The Tune?

Globe and Mail, Toronto ’ .

One of the most signiﬁcant features of the joint communique issued by Prean Khrushchev of Russia, and Chairman Mao Tse- tung of Communist Chine, after their meeting in Peking, is the relative precedence given the two countries. The names of the So- viet Union and China are linked together in nine places in the document, and in eight of those China is placcd‘first: Thus “China and the Soviet Union give firm support to the lust struggles of the peoples of the United Amb Republic." Similarly, in a ll st of the officials taking part in the conference, the names of the Chinese delegates were placed ahead of those of the Russian representatives.

All this is in the sharpest con-

trast to the com unique's of ear“

lier meetings, at which Russia always was named first. Indeed, at all‘previous Mei-national Com- munist gatherings, the S o v 1 et Union, as the “fatherland of So- cialism,” took customary prece- dence. :i

STRESS 0N PROTOCOL

" The Russian and Chinese peo-

ples have always placed great stress on ceremony and proto- col, and we may be sure that the

It is “the formal expression or a

We in the relationship be- '

tween the two countries. Russia is no longer the acknowledged leader; China has obtained equality, and perhaps more.

The communique is only one sign of this. It is also highly sog- muioant that at a time in international. relations, when Mr. Khrushchev might have been ex- pected to stay close to his desk, he ﬂew to Peking to confer with Mao Tee-tubs; Mr. Mao did not come to Moscow.

Chinese objections, were also responsible, in all probability, for the Soviet leader’s abmpt volle- iface when he rejected the Wes- tern proposals for in Security Council summit meeting; Peking dislikes the idea of a meeting in which Nationalist China would have a voice. Some shxdents of Communist politics also believe that Peking's inﬂuence was main- ly responsible for Russia’s return to a “tough” policy in Eastern Europe, as evidenced by the re- opening of the feud with Yugo- slavia and the execution if We Nagy.

GREAT ADVANTAGES

The Soviet Union his dominat- ed the Communist world so long

and so completely that it is hard to imagine another country tak- ing' over its position. Yet in any contest for leadership, China has great advantages.

1. While Russia is the most highly industrialized of the Com- munist States, China controls the Red bloc’s greatest reserves of manpower, for peace or war.

2. The personal prestige of Mao Tee-«bung stands hngher than that

of any - present-day Russian , which he should don his cloth.

leader. Mr. Mao was a world figure and a recognized Marmot oracle, when Mr. Khrushchev, for example. was anuiummvn minor official. This advantage has

increased, of course. .by the n- _

temal feuds and rapidvchauges of leadersMp which have taken place in Moscow since Stalin’s death. ,

3. China,» aslan Asian country, is in a better position than Bus sin to inﬂuence the Peoples of Asia and Africa whose capture seems to be Conununism's next goal.

It is still'too early to say what China’s increasing inﬂuence will

mean for the outside world. But

isroel And Her Neigthrs

Ottawa Citizen

It is a truism to say that there can he no stable peace in the Middle ’East until the Arab stat- es retognize the existence of Is- rael as a prelude to negotiating a peace settlement. Even a Unit- ed. States guarantee of existing frontiers, or one org-ence of a U.N. ‘foncein the Middle East, however desirable these may be, can only reinforce the armistice, not establish peace. In his state- ment to Israel’s Parliament this week Premier Ben-(lotion there-

‘ fore put first things first when he

said that the Arab states “should be required to meet Israel face to face in order to establish a permanent peace." -

I To be sure, the Arab.states cannot be required to do any such thing if they do not want to. But they can be inﬂuenced in that direction, and among other subjects which might usefully be discussed at a summit conference on the Middle East is the real— tionship between the Arab states and Israel.

ISRAEL’S BORDERS . The Arab states have said they would not negotiate with Israel until Israel’s borders were reduc- ed to those set forth in the origin-

al USN. Palestine partition plan. But the plan (including the inter- nationalization of Jerusalem) was rejected in the first instance by the Arab states, although it had been accepted by the Jewish au— thorities in Palestine.

Th e rejection included an armed attack against Israel and

against Jerusalem, a city which

the U.N. should have defended under the intermitonalizalbion scheme. The decision, made by force of arms. went against the Arab states. Having been made by force of arms, it can hardly be reversed except through mili- tary action — and that means war. ‘

ENCOURAGED

Unfortunately, Russia and, to some extent, Britain have been encouraging the Arab states to believe that the decision can be reVersed through big power pres- sure. Once this encouragement is removed, the Arab states nught become more inclined to drop their demand for frontier rectifi- cation as a prelude to recogni- tion of hsrael.

A second issue outstanding be- tween Israel aud the Arab states is that of the Arab refugees, now

numbering about 900,000. Here, again, the Arab states demand a settlement as a precondition to recognizing Israel. Yet diplomatic negotiations toward a settlement, can hardly be [carried out without previous diplomatic recognition of Israel. SETTLEMENT FEASIBLE

A settlement is of course, feas- ible. Several‘ years agoUnited States Secretary of State Dulles offered an American loan to enable Israel to compensate the refugees. Israel was sympathetic to the idea. With the technical help of the U.N. (Israel has also offered technical assistance) re- settlement could go forward out- side Israel. Iraq has been quietly resettlmg refugees during the past year. "

With the frontier issue negotlat. ed and settled a U.N. guarantee would remove Arab fears of Arab attack. Settlement (if the refugee issue would remove a highly - charged, emotional source of ten- sion. An accord could be accom- plished given a genuine desire to reach one. In the interest of stab ility in the Middle East and the cause of world peace, it should be the concern of the big powers to influence events in the direc- tion of a negotiated settlement which recognizes existing realities

when they meet under U.N. aus~ pices.

The Protectionisls

New- York Times

Since the carefully planned and organized campaign for a return to protectionism in American ﬂoretgn trade policy made it 5 presence visible a decade ago, every fresh renewal of the Re- ciprocal Trade Treaty program has be e n fraught with extreme danger to this nation in its rela- tions with the rest of the free world. one never knows what new strategy will be resorted to by the enemies of this legislation to weaken its usefulness; one never even knows from what point to expect the next attack.

We should not, therefore, have been totally surprised when, just a month afterthe House had pas- sed an Administration ~ favored trade bill by a vote of 317 to 98, the Senate Finance .Cbmrnittee should have voted out a measure at the end of last week which repudiated virtually every mer- itorious provision in the House measure. The Finance Commit- tee .bill carries four major amend— ments, all completely bad and completely irresponsible.

MOST OFFENSIVE

The most oﬁensive of these is an amendment introduced by Se- nator Kerr under which the Pre- sident would, for all practical Purposes, be short of his author- ity to have the final say in grant- ing tariﬁf increases or quotes are

I

der the provision of the ‘_‘escape clause.” The president’s decisions

in such cases would be valid only '

if supported by majority votes in both houses. .

The term “national security,” which is used in some cases as a basis for pleading tar; relief,

would be widened to include virf

tualiy every industry in the country. The length of the exten- sion would be reduced from the five years provided in the House bill to three years. In consequence of this, the President’s authority to lower tariffs would be reduc- ed from 25 per cent, as approved by the House, to 15 per cent. N0 LIMIT

There is no limit, apparently, to which the protectionists are not prepared to go to make a mockery of this nation’s preten- sions to a liberal trade policy. We have an idea, however, that in this case they will find they have overreazched themselves. We believe with the United States

Council of the International Cha - ber‘ of Commei'ce that the flir‘lslt order of business on the Finance Committee’s bill should be an as amendment to restore the, bill to the form in which it emerged frgom the House. Should the Sien- a e pass the bill in an. thi a - sembling its present fbrmnothreen

the next order of business should be a Presidential veto. '

Help Dawdler Dress Himself

A five or six- year- oldyong- star is apt to be a dawdler. And at not time is this more obvious than when he dresses himself.

By this age, you see, dressmg has become old stuff to him. It is no longer a novelty. and hence be easily becomes bored with the task. .He seizes every opportunity to do or think about something

else. lMPA'i‘IENT PARENTS

Immediate reaction of the 9??” cuts, naturally, is to order hit}! to hurry up. But nag ,ng went really accomplish mile. - 1‘" “F” ii: is often likely to ﬂow him even more. He becomes deaf to the parents' pleading for speed ignores their requests.

Now I don‘t meant that you try l) but some into your five or six-yearsolds. There are much better ways of ab ting the desired results.

REMOVE DISTRACTIONS

For one thing. try to remove all possible distractions. You won’t be able to think of than all, of course. but at least out all toys and other enticing ob- iects out of his roach while he is getting- dressed. '

You might also turn this dress inc business into sort of a race. Tell your younﬂater to see if he can get dressed before the minute hand makes three circles of the clock. , _

Perhaps you can add other in- centives to speed his dressing process. I _

Tell him that you’d like him to bring the paper in from the front patch or that he can pour the morning trait pulse for the entire fem .

GOO REASONS

These simple chores will make him feel important and provide sound. not arbitrary, reasons for hurrying.

Every child presents an indi- vidual case. And one youngster just won't dress as quickly as another. Keep this in mind and don't expect too much from your

c ‘ . You can help him a great deal by making the dressing date a routine affair. Insist that he get dressed before breakfast each morning. Don’t make him dress before eating one day and then permit him to wait until afterward the following day. ORDER OF DRESS Establish a deﬁnite order in

log. Emphasize that he should put on his shirt first, then his pants and stockings and finally his shoes.

While children, as a rule, are confused by irregulatity, they tend to accept things which are routine . ' '

One more piece of advice: praise your child’s accomplish- ments. When he dresses bin». ,‘seli without a fuss, let him know that he has done a good id).
